San Diego Best of the Bay 2 Hour Harbor Cruise

Overview

Enjoy the best harbor tour on the San Diego Bay—with a professionally narrated harbor tour of more than 50 storied landmarks. We’ll cover over 13 miles on the Big Bay, passing by Seaport Village, Shelter Island, ship-building and dry-docking facilities, Coronado Island, Point Loma, and Cabrillo National Monument, among many others. As we sail, we’ll see delightful marine animals and majestic sea birds, and we’ll talk about what local environmental efforts are doing to protect them. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to capture all the sights in photos and video, and our fully stocked snack bar is always open.

We are fortunate to have beautiful outdoor decks that are available for sightseeing on San Diego Bay. We have great weather on the bay right now, we would just recommend you bring a hat, light sweater or jacket and of course your shades!

Went on the 2 hour tour on a gorgeous day in November. Saw some sea lions and seals on the north and south tour. Snacks and alcoholic beverages available to purchase. Good narrator/guide.

We took the option of the two hour cruise and were pretty happy we did. The first hour goes one way up the harbour and the second hour goes in the other direction. Each direction has its own unique features that we wouldn’t have wanted to miss. Seeing the navy ships was the highlight.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review! We are pleased that you had so much fun on the cruise. The navy ships are truly a sight to see! Looking forward to seeing you back on board soon.

Captain Jose Gurganus narrated the second hour of the cruise into the harbor and around the navy ships and shipyards. His first hand (ex Navy!) knowledge was remarkable and he made our trip excellent. We can't believe how much we learned. Boat was excellent and veryyyyyyyyyyyy relaxing. Cruised by the sea lions also- wonderful! Christmas Eve- Well worth the cost!

We are glad to hear that you found the harbor cruise both educational and fun. Captain Jose definitely has a wealth of knowledge and we are lucky to have him in our team. Come join us again on board soon!
